Decisive Battle 4
"Regarding the matter of Zhenguo Gong, how do you think Aiqing should deal with it?" Emperor Liang on the dragon chair was faintly tired, and these days, he thought a lot about whether to tell Long Yin, who was fighting at the border pass, about the matter of the prince of Zhenguo and his wife. If you tell him, then Long Yin is bound to come back, otherwise it will be unfilial. When Long Yin comes back, who will replace him and guard the border pass? If you don't tell him, Long Yin will definitely be dissatisfied with me and wary of me when he finds out.
The courtiers in the court whispered below,
"Tell General Long, where is General Long still in the mood to fight?"
"It's not appropriate not to tell General Long, Zhenguo Gong is his biological father, Mrs. Long is his biological mother, as a son, it is already a big disrespect to not be filial in front of his parents, and now that his biological parents are dead, it is even more sad not to be able to keep filial piety in front of his parents, and he will not tell him about it...... "Hey," a veteran of the Three Dynasties stroked his beard and sighed
"There are three unfilial pieties, and General Long occupies them all" The corners of Zuo Yan's mouth hooked, and he said deliberately.
After General Long took over the closure of the city, although he had not won a battle, he had not lost a battle, which was enough to show that General Long's courage could compete with Prince Lianhua. Now that I have informed General Long of the matter of Zhenguo Gong, General Long will inevitably be distracted, which is not good for our army, and even more so for my Daliang. Your Majesty, please think twice."
"What the prime minister said is reasonable, and Erchen also thinks that don't tell General Long for the time being, so as not to distract him" Zuo Yan echoed the prime minister.
"Long Yin is loyal to the country, and now that the death of the Guogong is not told to Long Yin, I will not be at ease, and Long Yin will also be dissatisfied with me, I feel ashamed of the Guogong, and I don't want to be ashamed of Long Yin anymore" Emperor Liang said with a sad face.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better to inform General Long of this matter" The elders of the three dynasties are out of the ranks, and the righteousness is Ling Ran" The emperor can explain the situation in the will, so that General Long will take state affairs first, and he will return in triumph with General Long, and the emperor can personally go out of the city to greet him as a sign of gratitude"
Emperor Liang did not speak, and the ministers knew that the emperor was not satisfied with either method. For a while, the ministers in the hall whispered again: "How is this good?" ”
Zuo Feng turned his head sideways and glanced at Lin Qing, the squire of the military department, and Lin Qing nodded to indicate that it was clear. "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea" Lin Qing came out.
"Aiqing, what is the best plan, let's listen to it" Emperor Liang leaned forward, and there was a trace of expectation in the tiger's eyes.
"As we all know, the second lady of the Long family, Long Yi, was originally the princess of Pingnan, but she did some wrong things and was retired by the king of Pingnan" Lin Qing paused, and then continued, "In fact, many people know that Long Yi does not want to be suspended, but the situation was urgent at that time, and in order to save Long Yi, Zhenguo Gong and General Long could not help but implore the emperor to let King Pingnan take a leave of absence from Long Yi. The prince and his wife are no longer there, and at this time, although it is common sense for General Long to return to guard filial piety, it is not in line with the times. Why didn't the emperor let King Pingnan withdraw the letter of resignation and re-canonize Long Yi as the princess of Pingnan, everyone was very happy, and second, when General Long knew about the matter of the prince, he would not be dissatisfied with the emperor"
Emperor Liang nodded, looking at the left wind under the hall, "King Pingnan, is he willing to take back the letter of resignation?" ”
Prime Minister Xincheng stared at a pair of small eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at Zuo Feng, Long Yi came back and became the princess of Pingnan, where will his daughter Xinrou be placed?
"Erchen is willing" A hint of joy flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes, which was exactly what he wanted.
The crown prince Zuo Lie squinted and saw the joy in Zuo Feng's eyes, and without waiting for Emperor Liang to open his mouth, he stepped forward and said, "Father, the son thinks it is inappropriate"
"The minister also thinks that this move is inappropriate" For the first time, the two factions of power, Prime Minister Xincheng and the crown prince, reached a consensus.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Liang's face was gloomy, as if he was unwilling.
"The second brother has already retired Long Yi, and now because he doesn't want to tell General Long about the death of his wife, Long Yi has been renamed Princess Pingnan, and General Long will be even more dissatisfied after learning the truth of the matter. This move will make General Long feel that our royal family is giving alms to the Long family, Long Yin is a righteous gentleman, a righteous gentleman generally has hills and valleys in his chest, and he is loyal to his master, even if there is any major event, he will take the country as the foundation. Why didn't the father inform General Long Yin about the matter of the country, and at the same time give another reward, one to express your grief and sorrow, and the other to express your guilt, the border needs Long Yin, although Long Yin is sad in his heart, but his father's move will make Long Yin grief into strength, and his father will be happy and happy? Zuo Lie said softly.
"The minister thinks that what the prince said is reasonable," Prime Minister Xincheng echoed
Erchen also thought that what the prince said was reasonable," and the cold Zuo Zhan also came out to express his agreement with the prince's statement.
"Then according to the prince's opinion, how to reward Long Yin separately" Emperor Liang looked at the prince, although there was nothing abnormal on the surface, in fact, he wanted to strangle the prince in his heart, from the previous dynasty to the present, he didn't say a few words, he didn't say anything about the proposal of the ministers, what he was waiting for was what Lin Qing said just now. As a result, a prince refuted it, how could he not be angry! His right hand was held on the handle of the dragon chair, and the green tendons burst out.
"Father, Erchen thinks it's better to canonize Long Yi as the county lord, which can not only show the magnanimity of his father, but also show the importance that his father attaches to the Long family" Zuo Lie had long seen his father's dissatisfaction, but Yi'er finally set a trap and got out of the Pingnan Palace, how could he watch Yi'er jump back! Not to mention his selfishness.
"The minister thinks that the prince's proposal is very suitable, and implores the emperor to canonize Long Yi as the lord of the county to show his favor" Prime Minister Xincheng shouted and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Emperor Shengming" doesn't know if the ministers are all in favor of the emperor, or because this is proposed by the prince, no one refutes it, just because the prince is the future emperor of Daliang, and there is no benefit in offending the prince. The ministers bowed down and shouted Shengming. Zuo Fengqi's teeth clenched, and he had no choice but to kneel down with the ministers.
Emperor Liang's face was very ugly, but he couldn't refute the invitation of all the ministers, after all, he wanted to be a Ming Jun, and the ministers kept shouting about the emperor's sage, how could he not destroy his image of Ming Jun. Emperor Liang had a dark face, "Spread my will, and quickly send someone to the border to inform Long Yin of what happened to the Guogong family, and at the same time, I also issued a decree to canonize Long Yi, the daughter of the Zhenguo Gong, as the lord of Lieyan County"
"My Emperor Shengming, Long live my Emperor Long live Long live" The ministers shouted and kowtowed and patted the dragon fart of Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang sighed secretly, it is difficult to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be a Ming monarch!
"Erchen is willing to go to the border in person to announce the decree," Zuo Feng kowtowed, and Mao recommended himself.
Zuo Lie was just about to interject, Zuo Feng couldn't go, what if he ran into Yi'er? Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, King Pingnan will personally go to the border pass to announce the decree"
